I recall messages saying the Finder will not accept dragged types and
create files and I have not been able to do it in my applications. I
just noticed, however, that I can drag a picture from a web site in
Safari to my desktop and it appears on the desktop as a file. I would
like to do the same in my application but it does not work.
I have tried following dragging types
NSPDFPboardType: some applications accept it, but Finder does not
NSFileContentsPboardType: Finder ignored it
NSFilenamesPboardType: Finder ignored it
NSFilesPromisePboardType: I found Apple documentation on this at
http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Cocoa/TasksAndConcepts/
ProgrammingTopics/DragandDrop/Tasks/DraggingFiles.html
but it appears to be a different dragging process. The sample code used
[self dragPromisedFilesOfTypes] instead of [self dragImage]. This
difference is a problem because I want to do both at once. I want to
drag PDF version of some graphics and have it accepted in documents of
applications that accept PDF but converted to a file if accepted by the
Finder. Is it possible?
